Ingredients

  • 2 medium acorn squashes
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 8 medium mushrooms (button or baby bella)
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 medium shallot
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ cups cooked quinoa
  • 2 cups spinach (or greens of choice)
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • Pomegranate seeds to garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Slice the ends off the squash, then slice each in half width-wise. Scoop out the seeds and place the squash, flesh side up in a shallow baking dish. Rub each half with coconut oil and drizzle with maple syrup.
  • Bake on the center rack for 40 - 45 minutes until squash is tender.
  • While the squash is roasting, add the mushrooms, carrots and shallot to a food processor. Process on high until the veggies are finely chopped.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add vegetable mixture and saute for 2 - 3 minutes until the mushrooms have started to release their juices. Add spices and quinoa and cook until quinoa is warmed. Add water if needed.
  • Once veggies are cooked, add spinach and pecans, and cook until spinach has wilted.
  • Transfer this mixture to a bowl and stir in nutritional yeast.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the four squash halves. Place back in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with pomegranate and serve immediately.
